CHINA WIND SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2008

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

China Winds Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 24, 1987 under the name of Malex, Inc. On December 18, 2007, the Company’s corporate name was changed to China Wind Systems, Inc.

On November 13, 2007, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) among Fulland Limited, a Cayman Islands corporation (“Fulland”), the stockholders of Fulland, and Synergy Business Consulting, LLC (“Synergy”), the then principal stockholder of the Company, pursuant to which, simultaneously with the financing described in Note 6, the Company (i) issued 36,577,704 shares of common stock to the former stockholders of Fulland, (ii) purchased 8,006,490 shares of common stock from Synergy for $625,000 and cancelled such shares, (iii) issued Synergy 291,529 shares of common stock for professional services, and (iv) paid cash fees of $415,000 in connection with the Exchange Agreement. The Company paid $1,040,000 from the proceeds of the financing for closing costs, including the $625,000 paid for shares from Synergy. At the time of the closing, under the Exchange Agreement and the financing, the Company, then known as Malex, Inc. was not engaged in any business activity and was considered a blank check shell.

The Company is the sole stockholder of Fulland. Fulland owns 100% of Green Power Environment Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Green Power”), which is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). Green Power is a party to a series of contractual arrangements, as fully described below, dated October 12, 2007 with Wuxi Huayang Dye Machine Co., Ltd. (“Huayang Dye Machine”) and Wuxi Huayang Electrical Power Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Huayang Electrical Power Equipment”, and together with Huayang Dye Machines, sometimes collectively referred to as the “Huayang Companies”), both of which are limited liability companies headquartered in, and organized under the laws of, the PRC.

Fulland is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on May 9, 2007, which was formed by the owners of the Huayang Companies as a special purpose vehicle for purposes of raising capital, in accordance with requirements of the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”). On May 31, 2007, SAFE issued an official notice known as Hui Zong Fa [2007] No. 106 (“Circular 106”), which requires the owners of any Chinese company to obtain SAFE’s approval before establishing any offshore holding company structure for foreign financing as well as subsequent acquisition matters in China. Accordingly, the owners of the Huayang Companies, Mr. Jianhua Wu and Ms. Lihua Tang, submitted their application to SAFE in early September 2007. On October 11, 2007, SAFE approved their application, permitting these Chinese citizens to establish an offshore company, Fulland, as a special purpose vehicle for any foreign ownership and capital raising activities by the Huayang Companies.

In 2007, the Company recapitalized the Company to give effect to the share exchange agreement discussed above. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquisition by the Company of Fulland is considered to be capital transactions in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the acquisition is equivalent, to the acquisition by Fulland of the Company, then known as Malex, Inc., with the issuance of stock by Fulland for the net monetary assets of the Company. This transaction is reflected as a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Under reverse takeover accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of the Company, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer, Fulland. Since Fulland and Greenpower did not have any business activities, the Company’s financial statements prior to the closing on the reverse acquisition, reflect only business of the Huayang Companies. The accompanying financial statements reflect the recapitalization of the stockholders’ equity as if the transactions occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented. Thus, the 36,577,704 shares of common stock issued to the former Fulland stockholders are deemed to be outstanding for all periods reported prior to the date of the reverse acquisition.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Wuxi Huayang Dyeing Machinery Co., Ltd.

Wuxi Huayang Dyeing Machinery Co., Ltd. (“Dyeing”) is a Chinese limited liability company and was formed under laws of the People’s Republic of China on August 17, 1995. Dyeing produces a variety of high and low temperature dyeing and finishing machinery.

Wuxi Huayang Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd.

Wuxi Huayang Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Electric”) a Chinese limited liability company and was formed under laws of the People’s Republic of China on May 21, 2004. Beginning in April 2007, Electric began to produce large-scaled forged rolled rings for the wind-power and other industries that are up to three meters in diameter. Commencing in 2008, the sale of rolled rings accounted for more than 85% or Electric’s revenue. As a result, we are referring to this segment of our business as the forged rolled rings and electric power equipment division. In addition to forged rolled rings, Electric continues to manufacture electric power auxiliary apparatuses (including coking equipment) and provide of related engineering services. Electric equipment products mainly include various auxiliary equipment of power stations, chemical equipment, dust removal and environmental protection equipment, and metallurgy non- standard equipment.

As a result of the transaction effected by the Exchange Agreement, the Company’s business has become the business of the Huayang Companies.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Under PRC laws, each of Green Power, Huayang Dye Machine and Huayang Electrical Power Equipment is an independent legal person and none of them is exposed to liabilities incurred by the other parties. The contractual arrangements constitute valid and binding obligations of the parties of such agreements. Each of the contractual arrangements and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto are enforceable and valid in accordance with the laws of the PRC.

Pursuant to the exclusive consulting services agreements between Green Power and the Huayang Companies, Green Power has the exclusive right to provide to the Huayang Companies general business operation services, including advice and strategic planning, as well as consulting services related to the technological research and development of dye and finishing machines, electrical equipments and related products (the “Services”). Under this agreement, Green Power owns the intellectual property rights developed or discovered through research and development, in the course of providing the Services, or derived from the provision of the Services. The Huayang Companies shall pay a quarterly consulting service fees in Renminbi (“RMB”) to Fulland that is equal to all of the Huayang Companies’ profits for such quarter.

Operating Agreement. Pursuant to the operating agreement among Green Power, the Huayang Companies and all shareholders of the Huayang Companies (collectively the “Huayang Companies Shareholders”), Green Power provides guidance and instructions on the Huayang Companies’ daily operations, financial management and employment issues. The Huayang Companies Shareholders must designate the candidates recommended by Green Power as their representatives on the boards of directors of each of the Huayang Companies. Green Power has the right to appoint senior executives of the Huayang Companies. In addition, Green Power agrees to guarantee the Huayang Companies’ performance under any agreements or arrangements relating to the Huayang Companies’ business arrangements with any third party. The Huayang Companies, in return, agrees to pledge their accounts receivable and all of their assets to Green Power. Moreover, the Huayang Companies agrees that without the prior consent of Green Power, the Huayang Companies will not engage in any transactions that could materially affect their respective assets, liabilities, rights or operations, including, without limitation, incurrence or assumption of any indebtedness, sale or purchase of any assets or rights, incurrence of any encumbrance on any of their assets or intellectual property rights in favor of a third party or transfer of any agreements relating to their business operation to any third party.

Equity Pledge Agreement. Under the equity pledge agreement between the Huayang Companies Shareholders and Green Power, the Huayang Companies Shareholders pledged all of their equity interests in the Huayang Companies to Green Power to guarantee the Huayang Companies’ performance of their obligations under the consulting services agreement.

 NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Option Agreement.  Under the option agreement between the Huayang Companies Shareholders and Green Power, the Huayang Companies Shareholders irrevocably granted Green Power or its designated person an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in the Huayang Companies for the cost of the initial contributions to the registered capital or the minimum amount of consideration permitted by applicable PRC law. Green Power or its designated person has sole discretion to decide when to exercise the option, whether in part or in full. The term of this agreement is ten (10) years from October 12, 2007 and may be extended prior to its expiration by written agreement of the parties.

The accounts of the Huayang Companies are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB No. 51”. As a VIE, the Huayang Companies sales are included in the Company’s total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with the Company’s, and the Company’s net income includes all of the Huayang Companies net income. The Company does not have any non-controlling interest and accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to the Company. Because of the contractual arrangements, the Company had a pecuniary interest in the Huayang Companies that require consolidation of the Company’s and the Huayang Companies financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in 2008 and 2007 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, accruals for taxes due, and the calculation of the value of warrants granted upon the conversion of debt to preferred stock.

Fair value of financial instruments

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
 
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s fair value measurements. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, loans payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, customer advances, and amounts due from related parties approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC and the United States. Balances in the United States are insured up to $100,000 at each bank. Balances in banks in the PRC are uninsured.

Concentrations of credit risk
 
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the People’s Republic of China of which no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts. A significant portion of the Company's sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company’s bank deposits by geographic area were as follows:

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $841,517 and $626,218, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process and finished goods related to the Company’s products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates. The Company recorded an inventory reserve of $78,967 and $74,192 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

Investment in non-marketable equity securities

Certain securities that the Company may invest in can be determined to be non-marketable. Non-marketable securities where the Company owns less than 20% of the investee are accounted for at cost pursuant to APB No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock” (“APB 18”). At December 31, 2007, the Company had a 5% membership interest in Wuxi Huayang Yingran Machinery Co. Ltd. (“Yingran”) amounting to $34,181, which at December 31, 2007, is reflected on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as investments in cost method investee. In March 2008, the Company sold its 5% investment in Yingran to an individual related to the Company’s chief executive officer for a price which approximated its carrying value.

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Advances from customers

Advances from customers at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 amounted to $83,226 and $77,357, respectively, and consist of prepayments from third party customers to the Company for merchandise that had not yet been shipped. The Company will recognize the deposits as revenue as customers take delivery of the goods, in compliance with its revenue recognition policy.

Income taxes

The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China and the United States. Income taxes are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company accounts for the product sale as a multiple element arrangement. Revenue from multiple element arrangements is allocated among the separate accounting units based on the residual method. Under the residual method, the revenue is allocated to undelivered elements based on fair value of such undelivered elements and the residual amounts of revenue allocated to delivered elements. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of dyeing equipment, forged rolled rings, and electric equipment upon shipment and transfer of title. The other elements may include installation and generally a one-year warranty. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and is recognized when the labor has been completed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer, which is generally within a couple days of the delivery of the equipment. Warranty revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete a service and generally is recognized over the contract period. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, amounts allocated to warranty revenues were not material. Based on historical experience, warranty service calls and any related labor costs have been minimal.
 
All other product sales with customer specific acceptance provisions, including the forged rolled rings, are recognized upon customer acceptance and the delivery of the parts or service. Revenues related to spare part sales are recognized upon shipment or delivery based on the trade terms.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees in accordance with SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees.

Shipping costs

Shipping costs are included in selling expenses and totaled $85,340 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Advertising

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company is the local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $184,067 and $6,182, respectively. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Asset and liability accounts at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were translated at 6.8718 RMB to $1.00 USD and at 7.3141 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were 7.07263 RMB and 7.7299 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Earnings (loss) per share of common stock
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of common shares issuable upon the conversion of Series A convertible stock (using the if-converted method) and common stock warrants.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities, (“EITF 07-3”) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts will be recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed. It is expected that adoption of EITF 07-3 will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) may have an impact on accounting for future business combinations once adopted.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

On June 16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” to address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1 as well as the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

(d) Securities Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, in addition to the issuance of the convertible notes:
 
·  
The Company agreed to have appointed such number of independent directors that would result in a majority of its directors being independent directors, that the audit committee would be composed solely of not less than three independent directors and the compensation committee would have at least three directors, a majority of which shall be independent directors within 90 days after the closing, which was February 11, 2008. Failure to meet this date will result in liquidated damages commencing February 12, 2008, until the date on which the requirement is satisfied. Thereafter, if the Company does not meet these requirements for a period of 60 days for an excused reason, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, or 75 days for a reason which is not an excused reason, this would result in the imposition of liquidated damages. The investors have agreed to waive any liquidated damages related to the initial appointment of independent directors and the establishment of the committees which occurred in March 2008.
 
·  
The Company agreed to have a qualified chief financial officer who may be a part-time chief financial officer until February 13, 2008. If the Company cannot hire a qualified chief financial officer promptly upon the resignation or termination of employment of a former chief financial officer, the Company may engage an accountant or accounting firm to perform the duties of the chief financial officer. In no event shall the Company either (i) fail to file an annual, quarter or other report in a timely manner because of the absence of a qualified chief financial officer, or (ii) not have a person who can make the statements and sign the certifications required to be filed in an annual or quarterly report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
·  
Liquidated damages for failure to comply with the preceding two covenants are computed in an amount equal to 12% per annum of the purchase price, up to a maximum of 12% of the purchase price, which is $663,000, which is payable in cash or series A preferred stock, at the election of the investors. If payment is made is shares of series A preferred stock, each share is valued at $.374 per share.
 
·  
The Company and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to file, by January 12, 2008, a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock and exercise of the warrants and to have the registration statement declared effective by June 11, 2008. The failure of the Company to have the registration statement declared effective by June 11, 2008 and other timetables provided in the registration rights agreement would result in the imposition of liquidated damages, which are payable through the issuance of additional shares of series A preferred stock at the rate of 4,860 shares of series A preferred stock for each day, based on the proposed registration of all of the underlying shares of common stock, with a maximum of 1,770,000 shares. The number of shares issuable per day is subject to adjustment if the Company cannot register all of the required shares as a result of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s interpretation of Rule 415. The registration rights agreement also provides for additional demand registration rights in the event that the investors are not able to register all of the shares in the initial registration statement.

The Company filed its registration on February 14, 2008 and has not been declared effective as of the date of this report. However, pursuant to FASB Staff Position, or FSP, EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements, the Company has determined that it is unlikely that circumstances allowing for the aforementioned liquidated damages would arise, and therefore no contingent liability has been recorded and believes that the registration statement will be declared effective by June 11, 2008.

·  
The Investors have a right of first refusal on future financings.
 
·  
Until the earlier of November 13, 2011 or such time as the Investors shall have sold all of the underlying shares of common stock, the Company is restricted from issuing convertible debt or preferred stock.

·  
Until the earlier of November 13, 2010 or such time as the Investors have sold 90% of the underlying shares of common stock, the Company’s debt cannot exceed twice the preceding four quarters earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
 
·  
The Company’s officers and directors agreed, with certain limited exceptions, not to publicly sell shares of common stock for 27 months or such earlier date as all of the convertible securities and warrants have been converted or exercised and the underlying shares of common stock have been sold.
 
·  
The Company entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which the Company issued into escrow its 3% convertible promissory note due March 31, 2008 in the principal amount of $3,000,000. Upon the filing of the Restated Certificate this note automatically was converted into 24,787,135 shares of series A preferred stock. These shares of series A preferred stock are in addition to the 14,787,135 shares of series A preferred stock issued to the investors upon conversion of the convertible notes held by them. The series A preferred stock is to be held in escrow subject to the following.
 
·  
14,787,135 shares are held pursuant to the following provisions. If, for the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s pre-tax earnings per share are less than the target numbers, all or a portion of such shares are to be delivered to the Investors. The agreement also had a target for 2007, which was met, and no shares were delivered with respect to 2007. If the pre-tax earnings are less than 50% of the target, all of the shares are to be delivered to the Investors. If the shortfall is less than 50%, the number of shares to be delivered to the Investors is determined on a formula basis.
 
·  
The target number for 2008 is $0.13131 per share. The per share numbers are based on all shares that are outstanding or are issuable upon exercise or conversion of all warrants or options, regardless of whether such shares would be used in computing diluted earnings per share under GAAP.
 
·  
If the Company does not file its Form 10-K for 2008 within 30 days after the filing is required, after giving effect to any extension permitted by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any shares remaining in escrow shall be delivered to the Investors.
 
·  
The remaining 10,000,000 shares of series A preferred stock are to be delivered to the Investors in the event that, based on the Company’s audited financial statements for 2007 and 2008 the Company or certain affiliated companies owes any taxes to the PRC government or any authority or taxing agency of the PRC for any period ended on or prior to September 30, 2007. For each $1.00 of such tax liability, four shares of series A preferred stock are to be delivered to the Investors. At December 31, 2007, the Company did not have any tax liabilities for the period ended on or prior to September 30, 2007.
 
·  
With certain exceptions, until the Investors have sold all of the underlying shares of Common Stock, if the Company sells common stock or issues convertible securities with a conversion or exercise price which is less than the conversion price of the preferred stock, the conversion price of the series A preferred stock and the exercise price of the warrants is reduced to the lower price.

·  
In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, $30,000 was deducted from the gross proceeds and was paid to an investor as reimbursement for due diligence expenses, which was deferred as a debt discount and was amortized over the life of the convertible notes. Other fees incurred in connection with the debt issuance include $25,000 of legal fees, which were treated as a deferred debt issue costs and are being amortized to debt issue cost expense over the life of the notes. The unamortized portion of this debt discount on March 28, 2008, the date on which the convertible notes were automatically converted, was recognized at that time.

The Company evaluated the application of EITF 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios,” and EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” and concluded that the convertible notes have a beneficial conversion option Pursuant to EITF 00-27, Issue 15, the Company computed the intrinsic value of the conversion option at $2,610,938 based on a comparison of (a) the proceeds of the convertible debt allocated to the common stock portion of the conversion option by first allocating the proceeds received from the convertible debt offering to the debt and the detachable warrants on a relative fair value basis, and (b) the fair value at the commitment date of the common stock to be received by the Company upon conversion. The excess of (b) over (a) is the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion option of $2,610,938 that has been recognized by the Company as discount to the notes were amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter (1) the term of Notes, (2) the conversion of the notes to common stock, or (3) upon filing by the Company of certificate of designation and immediate conversion of the notes to the series A preferred stock and warrants.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2008

The Company filed the Restated Certificate on March 28, 2008 and accordingly, the Company recognized the value of the warrants and any remaining debt discount upon conversion of the debt. 

The conversion features for the convertible notes have been evaluated under FAS 150, FAS 133, and EITF 00-19 and are deemed not to be an embedded derivative and any value attributable to these features would be classified as equity.

As discussed above, upon filing of the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation on March 28, 2008, the Company issued warrants to purchase 18,829,756 shares of the common stock. At November 13, 2007, the fair value of the warrants used to calculate the intrinsic value of the conversion option was estimated at $2,884,062 and was computed using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the assumed issuance of the warrants on the date the notes were issued. Variables used in the option-pricing model include (1) risk-free interest rate at the date of grant (3.84%), (2) expected warrant life of 5 years, (3) expected volatility of 150%, and (4) 0% expected dividend.

As the series A preferred stock does not require redemption by the Company or have a finite life, upon issuance of the warrants, a one-time preferred stock deemed dividend of $2,884,062 was recognized immediately as a non-cash charge at March 28, 2008. The non-cash, deemed dividend did not have an effect on net earnings or cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The estimated fair market value of the warrants of $2,884,062 has been recorded as additional paid-in capital and a reduction to retained earnings.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, amortization of debt issue costs was $21,429 and included any remaining balance of debt issue costs that was expensed upon conversion of the convertible debt to the series A preferred stock. At December 31, 2007, deferred debt costs of $21,429 were included in prepaid expenses and other on the consolidated balance sheets. The amortization of debt discounts for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,263,661, which has been included in interest expense on the accompanying statement of operations and included any remaining balance of the debt discount that was expense upon conversion of the convertible debt to the series A preferred stock, which occurred on March 28, 2008.

In November 2007, the Company evaluated whether or not the convertible notes contain embedded conversion options, which meet the definition of derivatives under SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and related interpretations. The Company concluded that since the convertible notes had a fixed conversion rate of $0.374, the convertible notes were not derivative instruments. The Company analyzed this provision under EITF 05-04 and, although the debt is unconventional, the reset provision is deemed within the Company’s control and therefore it qualified as equity under EITF 00-19
 
The convertible notes liability is as follows at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

This original purchase price was reduced by 9,196,341RMB or approximately $1,257,000 which represents 33% of the appreciation in the long-term assets atrtributable to Boiler prior to the Company’s sales of its interest in Boiler.The long-term assets consist of i) an approximately 100,000 square foot factory which was substantially completed in 2005, ii) land use rights, iii) employee housing facilities and iv) other leasehold improvements. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, payments totaling 80,086,159 RMB and 79,458,230 RMB or approxmately $11,654,000 and $10,864,000, respectively, had been made to Boiler, adjusted by the foreign exchange rate. In 2008, in connection with the acquisition of land use rights from a related party, the Company was granted the transferred land use rights from the government and accordingly, the Company reclassified approximately $5,500,000 from deposits on long-term assets to intangible assets (See Note 5). As of June 30, 2008, the Company has not received title to the facilities and the property has not been placed in service. The Company has initiated the transfer of the title to the facilities and the transfer is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2008 at which time the deposit on long-term assets will be reclassified to property and equipment.

Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company made of cash deposit of $2,725,487 for factory equipment for the new factory, having a total cost of approximately $6,368,000. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had not received the equipment and this deposit is included in Deposits on Long-term Assets. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, deposits on long-term assets are as follows:

NOTE 10 - OPERATING RISK

(a) Country risk

Currently, the Company’s revenues are primarily derived from the sale of machinery to customers in China. A downturn or stagnation in the economic environment of the PRC could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

(b) Exchange risk

The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady, therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of a fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of Chinese Renminbi (RMB) converted to U.S. dollars on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments without notice.

NOTE 11 - STATUTORY RESERVES

The Company is required to make appropriations to reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve, statutory public welfare fund and discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC GAAP”). Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve should be at least 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital or members’ equity. Appropriations to the statutory public welfare fund are at a minimum of 5% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. Commencing on January 1, 2006, the new PRC regulations waived the requirement for appropriating retained earnings to a welfare fund. As of December 31, 2006, the Company appropriated the required maximum 50% of its registered capital to statutory reserves for Dyeing. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, statutory reserve activity is as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

The following analysis of the results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and notes thereto contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

Prior to November 13, 2007, we were a public reporting blind pool company with no assets. On November 13, 2007, we executed and completed the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement with Fulland and its stockholders and Synergy, which was then principal stockholder. Pursuant to this agreement, simultaneously with the financing as discussed below, (i) the Company issued 36,577,704 shares of common stock to the former stockholders of Fulland, (ii) purchased 8,006,490 shares of common stock from Synergy for $625,000 and cancelled such shares, (iii) issued Synergy 291,529 shares of common stock for professional services, and (iv) paid cash fees of $415,000 in connection with the exchange agreement. Aggregate payments of $1,040,000 were made from the proceeds of the financing, including the $625,000 paid to Synergy as described above.

Fulland conducts its business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Power, in PRC as a wholly-owned foreign limited liability company. Green Power, through the Huayang Companies, is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of a variety of high and low temperature dyeing and finishing machinery, the manufacture of high precision forged rolled rings for the wind power industry and other industries and the design, manufacture and sale of electric power auxiliary apparatuses (including coking equipment), sewage-treatment equipment and related parts or fittings. Green Power operates and controls the Huayang Companies through contractual arrangements. Fulland used the contractual arrangements to acquire control of the Huayang Companies, instead of acquiring the business of Huayang Companies in order not to violate the laws of the PRC that significantly restrict a PRC company from selling its assets to a foreign entity other than for cash and otherwise impose restriction on foreign investment in PRC companies.

The acquisition of Fulland was accounted for as a reverse merger because on a post-merger basis, the former shareholders of Fulland held a majority of our outstanding common stock on a voting and fully-diluted basis. As a result of the share exchange, Fulland was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the financial statement data presented are those of Fulland (including the Huayang Companies) for all periods prior to our acquisition of Fulland on November 13, 2007, and the financial statements of the consolidated companies from the acquisition date forward. Since Fulland did not have any separate operations prior to November 13, 2007, the financial statements of Fulland reflect the operations of the Huayang Companies.

Our revenues are derived from two unrelated businesses - (1) the manufacture of dyeing & finishing equipment and (2) the manufacture of forged rolled rings and other components for the wind power and other industries and electric power auxiliary apparatuses (including coking equipment). We market products from these two segments with independent marketing groups to different customer bases.

Dyeing and finishing equipment segment
 
The dyeing and finishing equipment business has been the principal source of our revenue and operating income, accounting for 56.9% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 81.1% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007. Substantially all of our sales of these products are made to companies in the PRC. As a result, we are dependent upon the continued growth of the textile industry in the PRC. To the extent that growth in this industry stagnates in the PRC, whether as a result of export restrictions from countries such as the United States, who are major importers of Chinese-made textiles, or shifts in international manufacturing to countries which may have a lower cost than the PRC or overexpansion of the Chinese textile industry, we will have more difficulty in selling these products in the PRC, and we may have difficulty exporting our equipment. Further, as the textile industry seeks to lower costs by purchasing equipment that uses the most technological developments to improve productivity, reduce costs and have less adverse environmental impact, if we are not able to offer products utilizing the most current technology, our ability to market our products will suffer. Although we seek to work with our customers in designing equipment to meet their anticipated needs, we cannot assure you that we will be able to develop products and enhancements that are required or desired by the industry.

Forged rolled rings and electric power equipment segment
 
In our forged rolled rings and electrical power equipment segment, we manufacture high precision forged rolled rings for the wind power industry and other industries. Additionally, we also manufacture specialty equipment used in the production of coal generated electricity. Revenue from our forged rolled rings and electrical power equipment segment accounted for 41.7% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008, 43.1% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and 18.9% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 and is summaries as follows:

During 2007, we began to generate revenue from the forging of rolled rings for the wind power and other industries. These activities accounted for 36.5% of net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008, 37.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 7.8% for the year ended December 31, 2007. We expect that rolled rings will become a more significant percentage of total revenues in the future, and, in this connection we are expanding our manufacturing facilities to enable us to manufacture forged rolled rings with a larger diameter in order to meet the perceived needs of the wind power industry.

We acquired from an affiliated company for a net price of approximately $10,950,000, an approximately 100,000 square foot factory which was substantially completed in 2005 together with the related land use rights, employee housing facilities and other leasehold improvements. As of June 30, 2008, the purchase price was fully paid. Furthermore, through June 30, 2008, we have incurred additional costs of approximately $2.2 million for leasehold improvements to upgrade this facility for the eventual manufacture of larger roll rings and other componenets with a focus on the wind power industry. Although we have received the land use rights, as of the date of this report, we have not received title to the factory facilities and the property has not been placed in service. We intend to use this new facility to manufacture forged rolled rings and other components for use in the wind power and other industries. To date, most of our rolled ring sales have been for non-wind applications.  As we expand our facilities to accommodate the manufacture of rolled rings with larger diameters, we plan to develop products for which the wind industry is a more important target market. Wind power accounts for an insignificant percentage of the power generated in the PRC, and our ability to market to this segment is dependent upon both the growth of the acceptance of wind power as an energy source in the PRC and the acceptance of our products.

In addition to manufacturing forged roll rings, we market electrical power equipment to operators of coal-fired electricity generation plants. Our ability to market these products is dependent upon the continued growth of coal-generated power plants and our ability to offer products that enable the operators of the power plants to produce electricity through a cleaner process than would otherwise be available at a reasonable cost. To the extent that government regulations are adopted that require the power plants to reduce or eliminate polluting discharges from power plants, our equipment would need to be redesigned to meet such requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant estimates in 2008 and 2007 include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, and accruals for taxes due.

Variable Interest Entities

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46R”) we are required to include in our consolidated financial statements the financial statements of variable interest entities. FIN 46R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the variable interest entity or is entitled to receive a majority of the variable interest entity’s residual returns. Variable interest entities are those entities in which we, through contractual arrangements, bear the risk of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore we are the primary beneficiary of the entity. 

The Huayang Companies are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”), and we are the primary beneficiary. On November 13, 2007, we entered into agreements with the Huayang Companies pursuant to which we shall receive 100% of the Huayang Companies net income. In accordance with these agreements, the Huayang Companies shall pay consulting fees equal to 100% of its net income to our wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, Green Power, and Green Power shall supply the technology and administrative services needed to service the Huayang Companies.  

The accounts of the Huayang Companies are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to FIN 46R. As a VIE, the Huayang Companies sales are included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with our, and our net income includes all of the Huayang Companies net income. We do not have any non-controlling interest and accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating the net income attributable to us. Because of the contractual arrangements, we have pecuniary interest in the Huayang Companies that require consolidation of our financial statements and the Huayang Companies financial statements.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods related our products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average method. An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, we will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

 
 
Useful Life
Building and building improvements
 
20
 
Years
Manufacturing equipment
 
5 - 10
 
Years
Office equipment and furniture
 
5
 
Years
Vehicle
 
5
 
Years
 
27

 
The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.

Long-lived assets are reviewed periodically or more often if circumstances dictate, to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. We consider assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. We also re-evaluate the amortization periods to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.
 
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” we examine the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.

Intangible assets

There is no private ownership of land in the PRC. All land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. The government grants a land use right that permits the holder of the land use right to use the land for a specified period. Our land use rights were granted with a term of 50 years. Any transfer of the land use right requires government approval. We have recorded as an intangible asset the costs paid to acquire a land use right. The land use rights are amortized on the straight-line method over the land use right terms ranging from 45 to 50 years.

Intangible assets are reviewed periodically or more often if circumstances dictate, to determine whether its carrying value has become impaired. We consider assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. We also re-evaluate the amortization periods to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We account for the product sales as a multiple element arrangement. Revenue from multiple element arrangements is allocated among the separate accounting units based on the residual method. Under the residual method, the revenue is allocated to undelivered elements based on fair value of such undelivered elements and the residual amounts of revenue allocated to delivered elements. We recognize revenue from the sale of dyeing and electric equipment upon shipment and transfer of title. The other elements may include installation and generally a one-year warranty. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and is recognized when the labor has been completed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer, which is generally within a close to the date of delivery of the equipment. Warranty revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete a service and generally is recognized over the contract period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, amounts allocated to warranty revenues were not material. Based on historical experience, warranty service calls and any related labor costs have been minimal.
 
All other product sales, including the forging of parts, with customer specific acceptance provisions, are recognized upon customer acceptance and the delivery of the parts or service. Revenues related to spare part sales are recognized upon shipment or delivery based on the trade terms.

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, and are included in general and administrative expenses. These costs primarily consist of cost of material used and salaries paid for the development of our products and fees paid to third parties. Our total research and development expense through June 30, 2008 has not been significant and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

28

 
Income taxes

We are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC. Income taxes are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The charge for taxes is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
 
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

We adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no affect on our financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements 

In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities, (“EITF 07-3”) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts will be recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed. It is expected that adoption of EITF 07-3 will not have a material impact on tour results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) may have an impact on accounting for future business combinations once adopted.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We have not determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on our financial statements.

29

 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

On June 16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” to address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1 as well as the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

* Because the sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was minimal, the percentage increase is not meaningful.

Our revenue increases were attributable to:

·  
The increase in revenues from the sale of dyeing and finishing equipment was attributable to continued strong sales of our equipment to the textile industry.
   
·  
We have experienced an increase in revenues from the sale of forged rings to the other industries such as the railway, heavy machinery manufacturing, petrochemical, metallurgical, sea port machinery, and defense and radar industry. This source of revenue was nominal for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
   
·  
Revenue from the sale of forged rings to the wind power industry, which was nominal in the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased to $2.6 million and is attributable to the demand for our forged rolled rings that will be used in the production of wind turbine components such as gear boxes and yaw bearings. The wind power industry is experiencing such tremendous growth that the industry is facing a serious shortage of various components, principally gearboxes and bearings.
   
·  
The increase in revenues from the sale of standard and custom auxiliary equipment for use in the power industry in China is attributable to the continued sale of additional pieces of equipment to the power industry.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $8,494,762 or 137.1%, from $6,197,569 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $14.692.331 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Cost of goods sold for Dyeing was $8,266,411 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $5,839,873 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Cost of sales related to electric power generating equipment and the manufacture of forged rolled rings and other components was $6,425,920 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $357,696 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Gross margin. Our gross profit was $4,937,693 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $2,391,613 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, representing gross margins of 25.2% and 27.8%, respectively. Gross profit for Dyeing was $2,900,880 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $2,359,560 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, representing gross margins of approximately 26.0% and 28.8%, respectively. The modest decrease in our gross margin was attributable to an increase in raw material costs such as steel and other metals which could not be passed on to our customers during that period. Gross profits from forged rolled rings and electric power equipment segment were $2,036,813 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $32,053 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, representing gross margins of approximately 24.1% and 8.2%, respectively.

In July 2007, in connection with the expansion of our forged rolled ring and electrical power equipment segment to develop and market forged rolled rings and related equipment to the wind power industry, we acquired a factory, together with the related land use rights, employee housing facilities and other leasehold improvements from a related party for a net price of approximately $10,950,000. As of June 30, 2008, the amount was paid in full. We also incurred costs of $2.2 million in making structural improvements that are necessary for our planned expansion of our rolled ring business to enable us to manufacture larger rolled rings and other components

On November 13, 2007, we raised gross proceeds of $5,525,000 from the sale of our 3% notes in the principal amount of $5,525,000. On March 28, 2008, the notes were automatically converted into an aggregate of 14,787,135 shares of series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase 11,176,504 shares of common stock at $0.58 per share, 5,588,252 shares of common stock at $0.83 per share, and 2,065,000 shares of common stock at $0.92 per share upon the filing of the restated certificate of incorporation and a statement of designations setting forth the rights of the holders of the series A convertible preferred stock.

The purchase agreement pursuant to which we issued the notes includes the following provisions.

·  
We agreed to have appointed such number of independent directors that would result in a majority of its directors being independent directors, that the audit committee would be composed solely of not less than three independent directors and the compensation committee would have at least three directors, a majority of which shall be independent directors within 90 days after the closing, which was February 11, 2008. Failure to meet this date will result in liquidated damages commencing February 12, 2008, until the date on which the requirement is satisfied. Thereafter, if we do not meet these requirements for a period of 60 days for an excused reason, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, or 75 days for a reason that is not an excused reason, this would result in the imposition of liquidated damages. The investors have agreed to waive through June 30, 2008 any liquidated damages related to the appointment of independent directors and the establishment of the committees. In March 2008, we elected independent directors and have the required committees.
 
·  
We agreed to have a qualified chief financial officer who may be a part-time chief financial officer until February 13, 2008. If we cannot hire a qualified chief financial officer promptly upon the resignation or termination of employment of a former chief financial officer, we may engage an accountant or accounting firm to perform the duties of the chief financial officer. In no event shall we either (i) fail to file an annual, quarter or other report in a timely manner because of the absence of a qualified chief financial officer, or (ii) not have a person who can make the statements and sign the certifications required to be filed in an annual or quarterly report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
·  
Liquidated damages for failure to comply with the preceding two covenants are computed in an amount equal to 12% per annum of the purchase price, up to a maximum of 12% of the purchase price, which is $663,000, which is payable in cash or Series A preferred stock valued at $0.374 per share, at the election of the investors.
 
·  
We and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which we agreed to file, by January 12, 2008, a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock and exercise of the warrants and to have the registration statement declared effective by June 11, 2008. Our failure to have the registration statement declared effective by June 11, 2008 and other timetables provided in the registration rights agreement would result in the imposition of liquidated damages, which are payable through the issuance of additional shares of Series A preferred stock at the rate of 4,860 shares of Series A preferred stock for each day, based on the proposed registration of all of the underlying shares of common stock, with a maximum of 1,770,000 shares. The number of shares issuable per day is subject to adjustment if we cannot register all of the required shares as a result of the SEC’s interpretation of Rule 415. The registration rights agreement also provides for additional demand registration rights in the event that the investors are not able to register all of the shares in the initial registration statement. We filed a registration on February 14, 2008 and the registration statement was declared effective on June 13, 2008. We did not incur any liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement.

We entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which we issued our 3% convertible promissory note due March 31, 2008 in the principal amount of $3,000,000, which is in addition to the notes in the principal amount of $5,525,000 which were issued to the investors. Upon the filing of the restated certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designation relating to the Series A preferred stock, this note automatically converted into 24,787,135 shares of Series A preferred stock. The series A preferred stock are held in escrow subject to the following.
 
·  
14,787,135 shares are held pursuant to the following provisions. If, for either the year ended December 31, 2007 or 2008, our pre-tax earnings per share are less than the target numbers, all or a portion of such shares are to be delivered to the investors. If, for either year, the pre-tax earnings are less than 50% of the target, all of the shares are to be delivered to the investors. If the shortfall is less than 50%, the number of shares to be delivered to the investors is determined on a formula basis. The target number for 2007 was met and there were no deliveries from escrow.
 
·  
The target number for 2008 is $0.13131 per share. The per share numbers are based on all shares that are outstanding or are issuable upon exercise or conversion of all warrants or options, regardless of whether such shares would be used in computing diluted earnings per share under GAAP. Based on the formula in the agreement, there is no adjustment for 2007.
 
·  
If we do not file our Form 10-K for 2008 within 30 days after the filing is required, after giving effect to any extension permitted by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any shares remaining in escrow shall be delivered to the Investors.

The remaining 10,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock are to be delivered to the Investors in the event that, based on our audited financial statements for 2007 or 2008 we or certain affiliated companies owes any taxes to the PRC government or any authority or taxing agency of the PRC for any period ended on or prior to September 30, 2007. For each $1.00 of such tax liability, four shares of Series A preferred stock are to be delivered to the Investors. At December 31, 2007, we did not have any tax liabilities covered by this covenant, as a result of which there was no delivery from escrow with respect to 2007.
 
·  
With certain exceptions, until the investors have sold all of the underlying shares of common stock, if we sell common stock or issues convertible securities with a conversion or exercise price which is less than the conversion price of the Series A preferred stock and the exercise price of the warrants is reduced to the lower price.
 
The warrants have a term of five years, and expire on November 13, 2012. The warrants provide a cashless exercise feature; however, the holders of the warrants may not make a cashless exercise prior to November 13, 2008 in the case of the $0.58 warrants, and prior to May 13, 2009 in the case of the $0.83 warrants and $0.92 warrants, and after these respective periods only if the underlying shares are not covered by an effective registration statement.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We produce and sell almost all our products in China. Thus, most of our revenues and operating results may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations between RMB and US dollars. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we has unrealized foreign currency translation gain of $1,617,253, because of the change in the exchange rate.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008.
 
39

 
Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. Based on that evaluation, we concluded that because of the significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act.  Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”).   Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.  In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework.  During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, management identified significant deficiencies related to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise of our internal accounting staff, (ii) our internal audit functions and, and (iii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions.

Although we were a black check shell company prior to November 13, 2007 with reporting obligations, our present business did not become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act until November 13, 2007.  We began preparing to be in compliance with the internal control obligations, for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. During most of 2007 our internal accounting staff was primarily engaged in ensuring compliance with PRC accounting and reporting requirements for our operating affiliates and was not required to meet or apply U.S. GAAP requirements.  We addressed this condition by hiring of our chief financial officer who is familiar with U.S. GAAP and, under his supervision, we are implanting the related internal control procedures required of U.S. public companies, including providing training and assistance of our accounting staff in U.S. GAAP matters.  We also have elected independent directors and have established an audit committee which meets with management and our independent auditors. Management has determined that our internal audit function is also deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal audit functions, and we are seeking to address this deficiency.

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.  
 
We believe that the foregoing steps have significantly remediated the deficiencies previously reported, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.  

A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting.
 
40

 
Our management is not aware of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and we are addressing the significant weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting. Nothing has come to the attention of management that causes them to believe that any material inaccuracies or errors exist in our financial statement as of June 30, 2008.  The reportable conditions and other areas of our internal control over financial reporting identified by us as needing improvement have not resulted in a material restatement of our financial statements. We are not aware of any instance where such reportable conditions or other identified areas of weakness have resulted in a material misstatement of omission in any report we have filed with or submitted to the Commission.   

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
